Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use the addition/elimination method to solve this. If we multiply the first equation through by -1 we can eliminate the x terms. Doing that gives us:
-x + 3y = 3
x + 3y = 9
The x's subtract each other away leaving us with
6y = 12 so
y = 2.
Now we will plug in 2 for y in either of the original equations to solve for x:
x + 3(2) = 9 and
x + 6 = 9 so
x = 3
The coordinate for the solution is (3, 2) or x = 3, y = 2
The second choice down is the one you want.
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
30-22=2x
8=2x
8/2=x
n, n + 2, n + 4 - three consecutive even integers
the twice the sum of the second and third: 2[(n + 2) + (n + 4)]
twelve less than six times the first: 6n - 12
The equation:
2[(n + 2) + (n + 4)] = 6n - 12
2(n + 2 + n + 4) = 6n - 12
2(2n + 6) = 6n - 12 <em>use distributive property</em>
(2)(2n) + (2)(6) = 6n - 12
4n + 12 = 6n - 12 <em>subtract 12 from both sides</em>
4n = 6n - 24 <em>subtract 6n from both sides</em>
-2n = -24 <em>divide both sides by (-2)</em>
n = 12
n + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14
n + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16

Answer:
y = -x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to find the equation of a line
Step 1: find the slope
We are given two points
( 2 , 0) ( 6 , -4)
m = (y_2 - y_1 )/ (x_2 - x_1)
x_1 = 2
y_1 = 0
x_2 = 6
y_2 = -4
Insert the values
m = ( -4 - 0) / ( 6 - 2)
m = -4 / 4
m = -1
Step 2 : substitute m into the equation
y = mx + c
y = -1x + c
Step 3: substitute any of the two points into the equation
Let's pick ( 6 , -4)
x = 6
y = -4
y = mx + c
y = -1x + c
-4 = -1(6) + c
-4 = -6 + c
c = -4 + 6
c = 2
Step 4: substitute c = 2 into the equation
y = mx + c
y = -x + c
y = -x + 2
